Local knowledge
Commercial property in Cheshire West and Chester
What we look out for on leases in the area.
Listed shops in the Rows
Many shops in central Chester, including the Rows, are listed. We check repairing obligations and consent requirements, and suggest a schedule of condition where needed.
Retail and outlet use clauses
Outlet and retail park units such as those at Cheshire Oaks often have tight use clauses and turnover rent provisions. We check these terms carefully before you sign.
Industrial sites and contamination
Industrial land around Ellesmere Port and Northwich can have a long history of chemical and manufacturing use. We check the environmental search and make sure you are not liable for historic contamination.

Commercial property in Cheshire West and Chester
Yes. We handle commercial leases and purchases across Cheshire West and Chester by phone, email and video call. We negotiate with the landlord’s solicitors, review the title and searches, and complete electronically. You or your surveyor inspect the premises, and we look after the legal side.
The Rows are listed, so changes to shopfronts, signage and interiors may need consent. Check who repairs the structure and how shared parts of the building are paid for. Access and deliveries can also be tricky. We review the lease and title and explain the risks before you sign.
